BBC parliament old elections

With the end of this general election imminent, does anyone know if BBC parliament are planning on broadcasting any more past elections? So far, they've shown 1964, 1970, both 1974 elections, 1979 (twice) and 1997, which means they're still to show 1966, 1983 (they were going to show this, but parliament came back early), 1987, 1992 and 2001. I know footage from the 1959 election survives, but I don't know if it's complete.

Yes - see this thread - next one is 13 May!

The Beeb should have a channel dedicated to old eletion programmes and also other events such as Royal Weddings, Sport events (such as full Grandstand programmes), State Openings of Parliament and Eurovision Song Contests and maybe others such as 2000 Today and Children in Need and Comic Relief appeals

I think there'd be huge rights issues with most of the occasions you've listed. I think I'm right in saying that the Royal Family themselves have a say in repeats of royal occasions. Sports archive programmes certainly have major rights implications. The EBU are notoriously expensive at releasing repeats clips so repeating whole contests would be costly. However, sole BBC events like Children in Need and 200 Today wouldn't be (in theory) as hard to licence. Question is, would anyone other than members of this site really want to watch such stuff?
